default : return “motherfucker”
Google translation episode 2 - bad words translation…
A friend showed me a funny Google translation http://translate.google.com/translate_t#ro%7cen%7cRomania%20e%20pizdoasa%0A so I started investigating .
It seems someone went to great lengths to translate romanian slang. The funny part comes when they didn’t know how to translate a certain word … “when in doubt - return motherfucker”. :)))
Google translation…
http://translate.google.com/translate_t#ro%7cen%7cRomania%20este%20in%20Europa%0A
LATER EDIT: 
the above link was “corrected”..honest mistake Romania sounds like Australia…
MORE HONEST MISTAKES (Romanians are stupid works..but when it comes to smartness…well not the case - Romanians is replaced with The Romans :D). It seems we have an angry connational working at Google translate :
NO COMMENT.
wii vs ps3
Nintendo strikes Sony’s PS3 with a very funny ad…
The tag line should be ” I’m cheap and fun ” :))
YouTube and advertising
After YouTube aquisition by Google at the end of 2006 ($1.65 billion all stock ) the advertising in YouTube was almost inexistent and they had a lot of legal issues on their head…
Two years later the advertising means that YouTube offers have the Google handprint … Content triggerd text ads, flash banners, videobottom ads, custom pages, commercial channel…
If you need to know more http://www.youtube.com/advertising
I wonder how much did Nintendo paid for THIS AD?
